Let be an ideal of over a -finite measure space and let be the Köthe dual of with . Let be a real Banach space, and the topological dual of . Let be a subspace of the space of equivalence classes of strongly measurable functions and consisting of all those for which the scalar function belongs to . For a subset of for which the set is -bounded the following statement is equivalent to conditional -compactness: the set is conditionally -compact and is a conditionally weakly compact subset of for each , with . Applications to Orlicz-Bochner spaces are given.
